I had put the wrong age in my bio and some dude wrote on my wall that this game wasnt for kids under 17, I had went back to change my mistake, and right after I submit it I couldn’t text anymore. I am 18, a senior in high school, and It thinks im a child. How do I fix this?

If she comes back at you with multiple accs you can do screenshots and report for harassment. But with the existence of vpn ata cant even ip ban people anymore. So you gotta keep blocking or deal with it. Throw it back at her and start mocking her instead. Idk
Hi Fam!
It's been a minute since we last posted an update to our silencing policy and with so many new players, we thought it best to give an Update and Recap of PIMD Silencing Policies
We know that rules laid out below may feel targeting for some users and/or kink-shaming, and that is not the goal here. There is space for all our beloved PIMD players, but there are certain topics that break the rules of our Terms of Use and can be harmful to others. We have to keep the community safe and we hope you can understand.
WHY IS A SILENCING POLICY NECESSARY?
We get that you are all adults and we know that Silencing Policies aren't fun, but they are necessary to make sure the game is a safe place for all. Party in my dorm is a game that is intended for a 17+ audience, but we know that younger players will try to play.
With that being said our priorities here are two fold:
1. We need to make sure public spaces are safe for minors that may find themselves on the game. 2. We need to create a space that is free from harmful/toxic/inappropriate content that may trigger or negatively impact our community.
This recap and update is color coded to make it easier to tell what is OKAY and what is SILENCEABLE.
If you need an update on the basics please read the FAQ at the bottom.
Silencing Policy
Read below what we deem silenceable in public channels. Please note it's not possible to make a list of everything that could possibly be silenceable, but the rules below should make it clear what is acceptable and what is not. **There are some new clarifications so please be sure to read and be aware of adjustments.**

This information consists of Last Name, Age, Address, Workplace, School, Phone Number or Third Party Contact Information.

WHAT IS A SILENCE?
A silence is when your account's ability to send messages has been temporarily disabled.
Silences are given to players that break our Silencing Policies.
The Silencing Policies largely reiterate's our Terms of Use, and explicitly clarifies a number of points.
A silence is given out by a Developer or a Player Moderator.
HOW DO SILENCES WORK?
Silences operate on a tiered system, starting at the lowest duration and moving up for your next silence. After your silence has ended, your silence tier will decrease by 1 for every 30 days without additional silences.
Tier 1: 1 day
Tier 2: 7 days
Tier 3: 30 days
We reserve the right to deviate from this policy at our discretion in extreme situations, and in some cases may move straight to a permanent silence or disabling an account completely.
HOW CAN I APPEAL MY SILENCE?
If you have questions about a silence given, you can contact Support directly through in game help.
Please note that you can be silenced for anything that we determine to be inappropriate in our public channels (world chat, walls and status messages).
Remember that just because you write in to appeal, doesn't mean that we will remove your silence. Our Developers and Moderators are well versed in our Silencing Policies and there are not many cases where an appeal is valid.
HOW CAN I REPORT INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR?
If you would like to report any incidents of inappropriate behaviour in public channels in PIMD (world chat, walls, statuses, usernames, club names and descriptions), please message Support through in game help.
In your message, please mention the usernames of those involved, what was said, and when and where in game it occurred.
Private channels (such as PMs, gift notes and club chat) are not moderated in the same way. For these, it’s best to block the player (for personal communication) or speak with your club (for club chat). Some club roles can also silence members for 1 hour in club chat specifically.
Communication that happens outside the game (other than our Discord Server), is unmoderated and we are unable to take action against a player in game based on something outside the game, without direct evidence linking the accounts.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MYSELF OR ANOTHER PLAYER HAVE BEEN SILENCED?
When you are silenced you won't be able to speak in public channels.
If the silence was conducted by a Moderator your Status Message will be cleared and replaced with
"This account is silenced for violations of the Terms of Service".
If the silence was given by a Developer the Player Silenced will have a blank status and they will receive a push notification as to why.
Please note that this will apply to silences going forward. WE WILL NOT BE RETROACTIVELY REVIEWING ANY PREVIOUS SILENCES.
As a reminder, the silencing policy applies to anything publicly visible in PIMD:
Campus Chat
The Pub
IGNs
Statuses
Walls
Pet Names
Club Names
Club Walls
The forums
The following are not considered public spaces and are therefore private channels:
Private Messages
Direct Messages
Group Chat
Club Chat
Tutor Chat
Gift Messages
Please also see our Terms of Use for more information.
The best guideline is: Be a good person, do good things, and you'll pretty much be okay.

They don't delete accounts. You can disconnect and log out, unless you're silenced. In that case you could wait for the silence to end and disconnect afterwards, or uninstall if you don't plan to return

But also someone hiring a tutor from you is not harassment. Tutors are open to everyone. If you think that is toxic and harassment then delete all social media and get rid of your phone. Only get 1 that can call and text. Coz you should not be on the internet if you are that sensitive and mentally unstable
